You should be gentle taking care of your
little angels in their first 3 months because they really fragile.
Babies will be so dependent on you that
their sadness or smallest joys can turn your life upside down. You will want
to do your best to protect them in their first steps and in the future.
The day you take your baby home
When you just get home, you’re carrying
your baby in your arm and feel like you’ve been too long away from home… In
fact, you’ve just been out of there for several days. Usually, there’ll 2 opposite
senses: happy as you finally get your dear home with a new member and fear as
you can’t ask for the help of nurse when in need.
The
first day you take your baby home is very special.
It’d be better if your mother or a close
friend who are experienced helps you in those first confusing days. Avoid
staying at home alone or letting the house be crowded with people; the visits
of guest can be saved for later period of time.
Setting you phone at auto-responding mode
can be a sensible method to prevent you from being disturbed. You can call them
back when those first days pass.

Don’t be so independent; let yourself receive the help
from others
Put your faith in your husband or mother
and give them the housework, shopping and let them take care of you. Though
you’re not a laze person, this is the time you have to be so, leave the
unnecessary work aside and spend time taking care of babies or sleeping for the
refreshment.

Prepare the milk bottles for the next 24
hour and put them in the refrigerator so that when the baby is hungry, you just
need to heat them up. Finally, follow the baby’s cycle – rest when baby sleep
and never make any plan. This the best way for you to not get upset when babies
decide to change their habits.
The day you take babies a bath for the first
This morning is the first time you take you
baby for a bath: you must do it yourself. Of course, you carefully observed the
way nurses clean infants when you’re at maternity home but it’s a whole way
different and refreshing to do the thing alone.
The
first time you take your baby for a bath will be a surprising experiment for
both you and your baby.
Touching the tiny naked body of the baby,
the way you lightly rub the soap on it will create such a private hesitation
inside you. However, this is the right time for mother-and-child talks.
Take the opportunity and learn how to
cosset your baby, how to talk with him/her and shorten the connection between
you and your child. Most of babies like bathing as the bathing remind them the
feeling when they were in the womb.
The day your baby continuously cries for 2 hours
Learning how to recognize the cry of your
child is the first responsibility of a mom. The cries that express baby’s
hunger will fade away when you bring babies milk bottles. Moreover, babies can
cry aggressively for wet diapers… However, there’ll be some points of time that
babies keep crying no matter what you do.
You feed your child, change its diapers, do
the rocking or sing lullabies… but none of the ways brings results. The baby
cry out loud for over an hour before stopping and start doing it at the same
time in the next day. The times your child cry happen in the evening, most
times are in early evening when the sun just disappears in the horizon.
There’re many ways to explain about the situation.
There’ll
be some points of time that babies keep crying no matter what you do.
The first explanation is that the baby
suffers from lots of outside effects on the young brain in all day long so it
cries out in order to escape from the pressures. Another idea is that the
reason of the cries happening in the early evening is due to the air which is
hotter at the end of the day affects the young nerves in baby’s brain and makes
the baby cry.
You shouldn’t be worried since the cries
like that won’t last long. At the end of the first 3 months, when babies start
to speak these first words or be busy with playing with their fingers, the
phenomenon will automatically disappear.
The old tricks turn out to be good methods
What to do while waiting for babies to stop
crying? You can bath babies to comfort them or place them on the ground, right
next to you so that you can put your eyes on them. Or you can let them be free
to cry in the bed and come back each 15 minutes to talk to and comfort them.
Taking
babies for a small walk to the bakery in their trolleys is also a way to help
both mother and child to be relieved in those very moments.

help you take care of your child.
The day you leave your baby at home being taken care of by
another person
You husband ask you for a date out at
weekend: you two will have a dinner at a luxury restaurant. It absolutely
brings you pleasant sensation and it’s also the opportunity for you to use the
stored milk bottles.
A
night out can bring so many opposite feelings.
The joy is possibly blended with guilty
feeling when you go out and leave your baby at home. Take a deep breath and
prepare for the night.
Commonly, you should ask your mother or
mother-in-law to help you take care of your baby and, in the best situation, at
your home. It’s easier for the baby to sleep in the own bed and you’ll be more
relieved thinking out it.
Don’t be afraid of admitting your worries
When you leave your baby at home and ask
your parents to take care of them, don’t be hesitate in calling back home regularly
to check baby’s status. If so, will the grandma feel uncomfortable as you don’t
trust her?
Comfort her that you put your whole trust
on her and you don’t want to blow things up, the only reason that make you keep
in touch with the baby is to have a nice evening or a weekend away from your
baby.
